Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Duke 125 vs ns 125 which is better.?
  • Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. The KTM 125 Duke BS6 is the most affordable way into the KTM family. It Service as the perfect stepping stone to performance-oriented motorcycles. The only grouse is you may be able to master the motorcycle rather quickly, and the lack of power means you will be left craving for more performance. KTM 125 Duke is powered by a 124.7 cc engine. This Duke 125 engine generates a power of 14.5 PS @ 9250 rpm and a torque of 12 Nm @ 8000 rpm. The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 follows the same design ethos as its other NS siblings. The same wolf-inspired headlamp, muscular tank, chunky body, and split-seat setup make their way into the NS125. However, blame it on the skinny tyres and a slim telescopic fork, the proportions of the bike do not seem quite right. Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 is powered by 124.4 cc engine.This Pulsar NS 125 engine generates a power of 11.99 PS @ 8500 rpm and a torque of 11 Nm @ 7000 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
Q. Does KTM 125 Duke worthy of money as in this price range we get 150cc or 200 cc bikes? Actually I am confused between Duke 125 and Gixxer SF 150?
  • Not answer this is my question if u get duke 125 in 1.40 or something than why did u not got another high cc power bike in same price
  • Gixxer gives additional power with decent mileage.
Q. Which is better bike Duke 200 or Duke 125?
  • Both are completely different from each other.. As they both built on same platform and use of same parts the handling is similar.. If need power blindly go for duke 200 it is the best revving engine in the low end... Need a mileage with ktm looks then go for Duke 125... If your on budget & planning for duke 125 instead go for the Pulsar 200 NS it makes more sense then buying of same priced duke 125
  • Duke 200 is the best if you need the power.. duke 125 isn't the best in performance ... to make it simple Duke 200 gives you good low end power with avg mileage of 28-33 kmpl sometimes 35kmpl if you are not hard on throttle... Duke 125 doesn't have such power but has the ktm DNA and dynamics as it was built on same duke 200 platform but due to high low cc you'll getting a good mileage of 45kmpl
  • If you want performance Duke 200 is the one.But if mileage concerns you aswell its better to opt for Duke 125. Looks wise both are dashing and palatable eye candy.

    excitement and thrill all the way

Its engine produces 11.6 PS of power and 11 Nm of torque, delivering around 50 kmpl in the city. Comfort features include a split seat and well-positioned handlebars. Telescopic front forks and nitrox rear suspension ensure decent handling. Safety-wise, it has disc brakes with optional ABS. With a starting price of ₹ 99,990, it's affordable and low maintenance. While it's stylish and comfortable, it's not built for high speeds and might feel a bit stiff on rough roads.

    The bike's lightweight frame and responsive handli 

    I had my KTM 125 Duke for about a year now and it has been quite the nimble companion on city streets. With its 125 cc engine that puts out 14.5 HP, it makes zipping through traffic a breeze. The bike's lightweight frame and responsive handling make it a joy to ride in the urban jungle. I also love the sharp, aggressive styling that turns heads wherever I go.However, it's not all smooth riding. The KTM 125 Duke struggles on highways. The engine feels strained above 80 km/h and long rides can become tiring due to the lack of power.
